ST. GEORGE, Utah — It's something that southern Utah has been doing for years, and now it looks like the rest of the state is about to catch up on. But to actually catch up, you're going to need a bike.

The Utah Department of Transportation announced plans last month to connect the entire state with 3,100 miles of paved paths , following a model started in St. George and Washington County.

"We have been working for years in the city of St. George to build, but now it's become a statewide effort, and it's really exciting for us," said St. George councilmember Dannielle Larkin. "I feel like we have the weather that made it easy for us to be the trendsetter, right? So we started out with the right kind of weather to be able to transport ourselves by bicycle or by foot."
